We've seen a lot of costumes in our day. Some are funny, some are scary, and some of them, like this Child Ear of Corn, are simply wonderful. There are so many golden possibilities for an outfit like this.

You could combine a string tie, a fake white goatee, and a striped paper bucket, then insist that everyone call you Kernel. You could tote a rosary and a Bible if you wanted to deliver a hominy homily, and you could get a set of Groucho glasses if you wanted to go as a corny joke itself! If you're on the husk-ier side, you could pair this outfit with a fedora and toy gun to make it an a-maize-ing new take on the classic gangster. You could even add a name tag that says 'Al Corn-pone!'

Ooh! Here's a good one for a group: you and a friend each put on one of these suits and a police hat. Then, get a couple of your other friends to dress up like crooks or outlaws. Together, you'll be cobs and robbers! Or here's a couples costume that works like a rebus: get a pal to dress up like a can of cola, and when you stand side-by-side people will see that you're really popcorn!

Or will they think you're supposed to be high-fructose corn syrup? Okay, some of these ideas might need a little polish. Good thing there's always the stalk approach, which will still make for a sweetly end-ear-ing costume. No matter how you like to eat your corn, we think you'll have a lot of fun wearing it!
